I find myself fast becoming what I can only describe as a fanatic when it comes to the creations of Shonda Rhimes and her company Shondaland. Yes I realise that the characters are intertwined in each and every one of her series. Be it by sharing names, their spoken expression or even a face. Actors appear time and time again crossing over from Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and now Scandal. As is the case with Jeff Perry (Meredith's father, Thatcher in GA and now Cyrus Beene in Scandal), Kate Burton (Meredith's mother, Ellis in GA and now Sally Langston in Scandal) and the less obvious Sarah Drew (April Kepner in GA and Judy in Private Practice). Still I find myself hopelessly addicted to each and every one of these shows, waiting impatiently for the next instalment to appear on a television/computer screen near me. Scandal is by no means different.
Scandal is not a medical drama so it is unlike GA and PP in that respect. It is a political thriller packed full of twists and turns and characters who you can grow to love and hate. Everything a good television show needs. I encourage all to watch it knowing you will have to find time in your life to become thoroughly enthralled on a weekly basis.
